Saddam Hussein Makes an Offer

Even if Iraq were to comply fully with United Nations weapons inspectors, which is extremely unlikely, that would not be enough for Iraq to cease being a rogue state.

As President Bush clearly said in his Sept. 12 address to the United Nations, Iraq must comply with all Security Council resolutions passed after the Persian Gulf war. This includes accounting for all gulf war personnel whose fate is still unknown; the granting of rights to Iraqi minority groups; and the cessation of financial support for terrorist organizations.

In other words, even if Iraq did comply with weapons inspectors, the crisis would be far from averted.
